Hi Steve,
We renamed the boat because the Admiral didn't like the PO choice of
First Love.
We used sweet grass (for obvious reasons) from the prairie's for the
bow smudge. It smokes for quite awhile and smells like good old pot
(so I'm told...) anyhow, we were in the cockpit enjoying the last bit
of wine and one of the marina's middle-age guys that regularly hangs
about boats comes wandering past our boat looking to and fro probably
searching for the source of that familiar-to-him odour. He went by
twice and missed the sweet grass.
We made two mistakes, the first was not realizing we had a ship's
bell that was inscribed with Loki (god o' mischief and previous boat
name?) and the second was bringing aboard a hand-made pottery
rendition of Zuess, bought at the Saltspring Island Saturday market
and hung prominently on the aft side of mast.
We had a bit of trouble until these items were purged. Anyone want a bell?
Cheers, Russ

I just did a name change last year.
Thankfully the previous owner used decals, they were easy to take off.
The bigger issue was cleaning down (white) gelcoat enough to remove shadows.
One very nice tip I'm sure I saw here on the list group was to have an auto
signage place make up the decals - 1/2 the price of the boat places, of
which I checked several.
The same product, I am sure because I checked out samples.
For our renaming ceremony we forgot to bring a cedar branch aboard to lay
across the bow.
We improvised by using a piece of green masking tape - hey it was green and
came from a tree, ok ? ;-)
There was no way I wasting a good bottle of Veuve Cliquot Champagne, we just
gave Neptune a sample.

Steve,
I hope you will be following the boat name change ritual. Otherwise, it is
bad luck.
Depending where you look, some of these procedures are quite elaborate.
